"The term “addictive personality” refers to someone who has a natural tendency to develop addictions. It is not an official medical diagnosis, and many experts oppose the idea.
"It may be tempting to attribute addiction to someone’s personality as a way of understanding why they have it. However, doing this can have downsides.
"Viewing addiction as part of someone’s character may lead people to blame them personally for it or believe it is part of who they are. In reality, though, anyone can develop an addiction. Addiction is also treatable."
